My grandmother loved to cook and made fabulous creations. She also loved to travel. She and grandpa made there way around a good part of this globe boasting the fact that they had never been on an airplane. They were able to boast that fact their entire years on this earth (which was 91 for her). One of their travels brought them to the emerald isle and on that trip my grandmother met a wonderful woman on a train (where else, except a boat...not too many options here) who gave her family's special recipe for soda bread to my grandmother.
I wish this was that recipe.
I love that story. It's so cool! But that soda bread recipe literally tastes like bonded dirt and doesn't look that much better.
This one, well, it is still a handed down recipe from my aunt who got it from her teaching friend in Georgia who was Irish. But it's not your "traditional" soda bread. This tastes good. It's practically like cake. In fact it makes a great accompaniment to tea, but makes even better french toast (with a little whiskey maple syrup).
